The Mavericks also arrived in Phoenix on this day, two days earlier.
At noon, Li Ba invited Nowitzki, Da Zhi, O'Neal Jr., and Kidd to his home, and called Ah Lian over to accompany the guests.
In addition to them, there were also a group of stars from the domestic entertainment industry, as well as members of Zhang Depei's tennis team. There were six tables in total.
His playing time with the Mavericks has been reduced to 10 minutes now, because the Mavericks have a good bench lineup, but he is only 32 years old. Because of his style of play, his physical condition is not bad, and he can actually play for a few years.
Before eating, Li Ba had a chat with Dazhi. Dazhi's contract with the Mavericks is over and the playoffs are over, he will be a free agent.
"If there is no contract, I will be like a bus, returning to China for a few more years." Dazhi said.
Li Ba persuaded: "Don't worry, let me tell you, the Heat have been a blessing in disguise this season. After Dayao went, they played better. The Cavaliers may not be able to win them. But what I told you It's the Cavaliers, not the Heat..."
So speechless, if you talk about knights, you just talk about knights, what are you doing talking about the Heat?
Li Ba went on to say: "The Cavaliers are too old inside. After this season, O'Neal and Big Z will definitely leave one. But their real weakness is the fourth position. There is no one at the fourth position, and the third position is too strong. Their inside There will definitely be a trade, and the [-]th will definitely seek a trade."
Dazhi smiled and said, "I'm just a substitute. I'm a marginal person in the Mavericks, so you won't be interested in me?"
Li Ba smiled and said, "Let me recommend it to you!"
Dazhi said: "Aren't you afraid that I will smash your signboard?"
Li Ba was puzzled and said: "This is not playing ball, what kind of sign do I have?"
Speechless.
Li Ba said with a smile: "Besides, even if they fancy you, it is impossible for you to start. You must be a substitute. Your COSCO shot is what they need, let's see the opportunity. Yuanyuan's head is also familiar now , I will definitely find you a team, don’t just leave like a bus.”
At this time, Li Ba's cell phone rang, and it was Savor.
"Hello, Robert?"
"Hammer, I'm outside your house."
"OK."
Li Ba then called Weimon and asked them to let him go.
Savor made an appointment with him, but he didn't know what was going on.
After entering, the two found a quiet place to chat.
Savor came this time to confirm Li Ba's attitude. Now Li Ba is going to play tennis, and he has been thinking about it all the time.
Li Ba laughed and said, "I won't leave the NBA for at least two or three years."
Savor sighed, which means that it will be difficult to say after two or three years.
He said, "What about your shares?"
Li Ba smiled and said, "How about you take over?"
"Don't take me for a fool." Savor said angrily.
Li Ba said with a smile: "As long as we play another dynasty, the NBA's market and the Suns' market will stabilize. Even if I retire at that time, the market value of the Suns will not drop sharply. In fact, there will be no one to take over. Too much risk."
Savor was right when he thought about it. The impact of Li Ba's second retirement on the football market was not as good as the first time, because when he retired for the second time, the expanded football market had stabilized a lot. There will be inertia.
Thinking about it this way, he didn't want to sell the shares anymore.
Li Ba chuckled and said, "What's the current market value?"
"The latest valuation is 25 billion U.S. dollars, and I estimate that 20 billion can be sold." Savoy said.
He has 29% of the Suns shares in his hands, worth six to seven billion US dollars. Li Ba thought for a while and said, "Jordan lives in the small city of Bobcats. The NCAA competition pressure is very high, and there is no prospect of development at all. Let me ask him, look at him. Would you like to sell the lynx and come to take my hand."
"Cough cough..."
Savor choked on his own saliva, Hammer, are you trying to trick Jordan?
"Ah!"
Jordan sneezed at home and felt a cold on his back.
Li Ba smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it, maybe I'll fight till I'm 50."
Savor curled his lips, 50 years old?You might be playing golf or bowling, but certainly not on a basketball court.
"Robert, the market value is almost the same now, and it won't go up much any more. I really plan to take off my gloves and cash it out." Li Ba laughed.
"Then I... let me think about it." Savoy said.
Li Ba persuaded: "The reason why I made the move is because next year I want to build a chain restaurant and have some other investments. The capital needs are huge. It's not that the Suns have no prospects for investment. Now our revenue is good."
"Combining TNT's broadcast income, counting the income of the playoffs, and excluding the expenses of player salaries, we should be able to earn [-] million US dollars this season. We are now one of the three most profitable teams in the league. Others The two are the Knicks and the Lakers. After that, there are teams like the Heat, the Mavericks, and the Grizzlies."
Nodding his head, Savor said proudly.
"That's right. Now that the subprime mortgage crisis is underway, the U.S. economy may continue to decline. We can still maintain such a strong revenue and rate of return, and we have a strong ability to preserve value." Li Ba said.
Speaking of which, Savor really doesn't want to sell it anymore. He wants to sell the Suns and hold more than a billion dollars in his hands. That's the paper printed by the Federal Reserve. How can the Suns preserve their value?
Even if Li Ba stops playing after a few years and the market value drops, the market has become more stable over the past few years, and he can earn a lot of revenue, which can offset the impact of the drop in market value.
Of course, there is also a risk in terms of revenue, that is, TNT's contract is for five years. Once Li Ba retires, there will definitely not be such a large regional broadcast contract in the future, and the revenue will be much lower.
On the 19th, the Western Conference finals began.
This night, the American West Arena was full of stars.
The media was very unanimous about the outcome of the Western Conference Finals, and they all concluded that the Suns won. The reason is simple, the speed of the team.
Both Jermaine O'Neal and Nowitzki are too slow, especially when Stoudemire starts at the [-]th position and Nowitzki plays the [-]rd position. The inside speed has improved, but the outside speed is even slower.
Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.
Mavericks: O'Neal, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Kidd.
Suns: Gasol Jr., United Arab Emirates, Li Ba, Tony Allen, Ginobili.
The Mavericks still let the strongest five players form the starting lineup, but in fact there is no way, because the Mavericks' insiders are very slow except for Stoudemire.If it's on Dampier, it's even slower.
If Stoudemire does not start, Nowitzki will return to the fourth position. He is also a shooting guard, and his position has not changed, so Stoudemire must start at the fourth position to speed up the inside.
On the Suns side, Li Ba played against Nowitzki on the defensive end. The purpose of course was to strangle the Mavericks' offensive core.
The two teams jumped the ball, Ah Lian won Stoudemire, and Li Ba advanced with the ball.
On the offensive end, Li Ba's true identity is a point guard.
